Lousy place for New Year's Eve
For New Year's Eve, Moscow is a lousy place.
We got to Red Square around 22:00, and it was relatively easy. The naive are lucky - a few minutes after we passed, the cops closed ranks and blocked access. Passing through a metal detector is required.
White people are a minority in the square. The bulk are Tajiks, Kalmyks and other narrow-eyed Central Asia. Georgian brothers : -) were not noticed. Several hundred thousand narrow-eyed laborers are not the best company to celebrate the New Year, so it was decided to go home and go boo-hat-sya. What we did!
On January 2, the Tretyakov Gallery opens. Better to go in the morning - less queue. The Historical Museum is open on the third of January. Ostankino has been "temporarily closed" for 6 years.
In addition, we walked along a piece of Kutuzovsky, along the old Arbat, captured a bit of the boulevard ring, looked at the Government House and several palace-like stalins. Perfectly illuminated in the evening, they turn into one of the main architectural sights of Moscow.
The Moscow City business center under construction made a very strong impression on the capitalist in my soul. I have never seen anything like it before. If the plans are not covered with a copper basin of Russian democracy, then in 3-4 years Moscow will have one of the world's largest business centers, the tallest building in Europe, and by 2011 - the tallest in the world, and as much as 100 meters higher than today's leader .
